An adequate, well - balanced
breakfast helps the teenage boy or
girl in many ways.
It helps you to prevent getting
overweight by avoiding mid-morn
ing high calorie snacks. A good
breakfast provides you with quick
and lasting energy throughout the
morning. It also provides you with
a good source of mapy nutrients,
so important for an attractive ap
pearance and good health.
With a good breakfast, you are
better able to make higher grades
in school. Your mental reactions
art i-ster.
your physical stamina is also
strer.ghthened, allowing you to
participate in active games mid re
gular exercises more effectively
since your muscular "fatigue will
decrease. C ■ * f*
Learn to prepare and eat an
“instant” breakfast can provide
enjov as a busy teenager. Elimin
ate the excuse of “no time” as a
reason for skipping breakfast. The
“instant” braekfast can provide
about one-third of the nutrients
you need as a growing teenager.
Such a breafast can be eaten on
the-run and it’s good-tasting too.

L/v PROBLEMS
-AND SOLUTIONS
What do you do with a room
that has a dead washed-out look?
I have expensive furniture, dra
peries and carpet but my room is
just not as rich and attractive as
it should be. Can you help me with
this problem?
Mrs. P. B.
This is a common decorating
problem Mrs. P. 8., I would say
probably that you need more ac
cent color in your room.
An attractive and striking room
can usually be achieved by the use
of a sharp contrast in color.
Choose an accent color or colors
which will contrast sharply with
your color scheme. Good examples
are black and white, gold and blue,
yellow and orange, beige and tur
quois etc.
By keeping this secret in mind
one can easily liven up a room and
give it eye appeal. Throw pillow,
pictures and all types of accessor
ies will usually do the trick for
you if chosen wisely.

consistency changes almost like
magic to that of mashed sweet

The instant product can be sub

HOUSEHOLD PESTS
Keep insects out of your home. 1
This is much easier than getting t
them out once they have set up (
housekeeping. t
Pests can be more easily con- j
trolled in the home if you elimin- j
ate foods they can eat and places <
they can hide. It’s especially im
portant to keep all likely hiding (
places clean—places such as ere- (
vices in cabinets, drawers, floors «
and walls. j
Dispose of all garbage and other i
waste promptly. Keep all foods in j
tightly closed containers. Never i
carry cartons in the home that (
, may be hiding roaches or silver- i
, fish.
Use pesticides when needed. 1
But, use them according to direc- :
tions listed on the label. i

SOIL CONSERVATION

A REAL INDUSTRY: We read
in the Hawkinsville paper last
week that the Taylor Memorial
Hospital there employs 91 persons
and has an annual payroll of a
half million dollars. That’s an “in
dustry” that Perry ought to inves
tigate.
THE UNEDUCATED of today,
are the unemployed of tomorrow.
SCHOOLS: Many people tell us:’
“Those people at Warner Robins
must just want to throw the
schools open to total integration.”
This statement is based upon reso
lutions adopted by some organiza
tions asking that the board of edu
cation come up with a desegrega
tion plan soon so that federal as
sistance to schools will continue
and the public schools remain
open.
We do not believe the people
of Warner Robins want to have
complete integration of the
schools. But when there is talk
about closing the public schools
and having private schools, they
get excited. They realize that it is
impossible for them to start and
operate private schools for their
nearly 8,000 students.
They also are fearful that a re
fusal by this county to make some
move toward desegregation will
endanger the big airbase, which is
the only reason for Warner Robins
being there. They say people are
talking about their groceries and
shelter when they say or do any
thing that endangers the future of
the base. (Closing of the base
would mean closing of a city of
25,000 people, plus reducing Per
ry’s population by about 25 to 35
per cent).
That’s why they are anxious
about the situation—their liveli
hood may be threatened, and many
of them have been there 21 years
to build up their whole stake. We
have no idea whether the base’s
future is being threatened, but a
lot of people at Warner Robins
think so, and that concerns them
very much.
Perry has a different problem.
The percentage of white and color
ed students in the Perry schools is
about 50-50, as compared to a
sprinkling of colored students in
the Warner Robins area.
Perry has pressures from two
sides: (1) The future of the city’s
growth depends on Robins Air
Force Base, too, and (2) the 50-50
ratio of white and colored stu
dents. So you can see that both
communities have problems.
The Houston County Board of
Education had to make a move of
some kind or face desegregation
on someone else’s terms. We think
they are to be commended for
trying to keep control of the
schools at home.
Some believe a private school
system will come to Perry. Since
the lowest figure ever mentioned
is $275 per student per year, it
remains to be seen how many can
get up that kind of money. A
family with three school-age chil
dren would have to pay $875 a
year. The nearest private school to
Perry is Stratford Academy in Ma
con. Tuition there is S6OO a year
per student. There is considerable
question as to whether private
schooling can be provided for the
masses. The money has to come
from somewhere.
YOU’RE KILLING ME! A pa
tient went to see a doctor (not a
local one) for a physical examina
tion. After the exam, the doctor
said: “You’re good for another
10 or 15 years.” This sounded
pretty good to the patient. The
doctor said for the patient to come
back in three months. In due time,
the patient went back to see the
doc. After the examination, the
doctor said: “You’re in good
shape; you’re good for another 5
or 10 years. I want you to come
back in three months.” The patient
said: “I’m never coming back. I
lost five years in the last three
months; you’re killing me too
fast.” The doctor probably made
notes from that day on how many
years he had promised his pa
tients.

Also assisted W. E. Vinson Jr.
in revising the Soil and Water
Conservation Plans for his farms,
which are located in the same com
munity as the Dunbar farm. Mr,
Vinson has been cooperating with
the Ocmulgee Soil Conservation
District since its organization some
25 years ago. He has done an ex
cellent job with his conservation
program. And now, as W. E. re
tires to his Vinson Valley recrea

FREEDOM IN BUSINESS
There are many indications that
economic liberty long enjoyed in
American business is fast disap
pearing and that we are moving
toward autocratic control of busi
ness operations both small and
large. We are moving down the
road ancient Rome and others
moved, and it would be naive to
think the outcome will be differ
ent.
Os the three forms of economic
relationships “familistic”, con
tractural”, and “compulsory”, Am
erican capitalism has been primar
ily “contractural” ,in its genius.
That is, individuals have been
able to freely agree on or contract
transactions and have honestly ful
filled those agreements. Today
this concept of business is threat
ened by lust and dishonesty.
The laboring man as well as the
owners of business have so in
tensely desired to make a person
al gain that they have formed lar
ger and larger labor unions and
larger and larger corporations.
The bigger the union the more
bargaining power; the larger the
corporation the more it can edge
out its competitors. Hence the
merger of automobile manufactur
ers, railroads, and other businesses
until only the big companies are
left. Because the unions and the
corporations have come more and
more under the control of boards
of directors and administrators
who are less and less subject to
the members of the unions or the
stockholders of the corporations,
the people’s recourse and appeal
has been more and more to cen
tralized government.
Hence, the government has gain
ed tremendous control over busi
ness. In labor disputes, the gov
ernment usually becomes the arbi
trator. Such was the case with rail
roads in recent months and may
well be the case with the automo
bile industry in the near future.
Moreover, the government has
more and more imposed restric
tions and rules on business so that
liberty of operation is nearly im
possible.
Before a nation turns to a cae
sar of strong-man rule the way
has always been prepared by a
concentration of power in big
blocks such as in the major cor
porations of America. This makes
for an easy step of centralized
control. Each new financial crisis
gives excuse for more govern
ment extension and the lusts of
the people demand the spending
of more government funds even in
good times. Thus freely-formed
contracts and private enterprise
disappear. The similarity of what
is happening in America to what
happened in the Roman Republic
has been described by French his
torian, Amaury de Riencourt (in
The Coming Caesers) and in the
declining Roman Empire by P. A.

Sorokin, Harvard sociologist (in
The Crisis of Our Age).
Increasing dishonesty is also
destroying contractual business,
for it renders contract agreements
impossible. No tnatter what is
written in a contract, if on 6 wishes
to be dishonest, he can find away
to do so. Hence contracts become
less and less workable as dishon
esty grows. A poll made by the
Harvard Business Review of re
cent years indicated that four out
of five business executives con
fessed they knew of unethical and
immoral practices in their indus
tries. Walter Lippmann (in Look
Magazine) has charged that we are
adopting a new code of ethics that
allows for chiseling, lying and
cheating. Billy S. Estes, Bobby
Baker, James Hoffa and others are
painful reminders, as are govern
ment charges of price fixing
against leading reputable manu
facturers such as the largest elec
trical appliance producers and the
great bakery and bread companies.
Hence, contractual business must
inevitably give way to compulsory
forms.
The only answer is a revival of
faith in God promoted by business
men themselves. Jesus taught that
if we put the Kingdom of God
first and His righteousness, that
material necessities of life would
be provided (Matthew 6: 25-34). A
man who truly believes will be
willing to die on a cross rather
than give in to lust or dishonesty,
believing that God can even raise
him or his business from the dead
if need be. Earnest laymen meet
ing together for prayer to God
about this matter is the only an
swer to the problem.
About one-third of the drown
ings in Georgia each year are due
to boating accidents, according to
Miss Lucille Higginbotham, head
of the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice health department.
Between $7,500 and SIO,OOO per
employee is invested in dairy
plants, according to dairymen with
the Cooperative Extension Service.
